Frederic Galante

• Born in 1975, I have always been fascinated by the charisma of adventurers. Indeed, as a professional rope-worker on buildings, I am lead to take dramatic risks in performing tasks that only an acrobat is capable of. I have written two novels: 611 South  (Pauvert) and On the Rope (Maren Sell Editeurs). The latter narrates the tale of a young teacher becoming initiated into both verticality and vertigo, over the backdrop of a spiritual and amorous quest.
